   7  * Why base-58 instead of standard base-64 encoding?
   8  * - Don't want 0OIl characters that look the same in some fonts and
   9  *      could be used to create visually identical looking data.
  10  * - A string with non-alphanumeric characters is not as easily accepted as input.
  11  * - E-mail usually won't line-break if there's no punctuation to break at.
  12  * - Double-clicking selects the whole string as one word if it's all alphanumeric.
